Rise Of The Shield Hero

Before humankind’s dawn, a world wild and untamed breathed under ancient rule… Titans bestrode the earth, towering and merciless, while dragons wove fierce storms through the skies, each creature carving their will upon the world. The first elves were yet trolls, unshaped and primal, waiting in the shadows of fate. But as time unfolded, the heavens shook with a clash that shattered mountains and scorched skies: titans against dragons, power against fury. Earth cracked and skies raged as the mighty beings tore at one another in a battle that left both forces crippled and broken. Then, in this breath of silence… he arrived. A mysterious time traveler, a wanderer from realms unknown, descended upon a tribe of eagle man. In him, they saw a vision beyond survival—a path to greatness. Under his wisdom, the eagles grew, shed feathers for wings of light, and evolved to become the tribe of angels. Eons passed. Now, Philisios Veldorim, the King of Angels and Lord of Judgment, reigns from the highest heavenly throne,

Xiao Chen was once a great soldier of Huaxia known for his strange, unique but effective tactics and plans during operations. He would always assume command and orchestrate highly-dangerous missions and would lead his unit to success. He was known for being a great commander which made his military rank soar, from being a young lieutenant freshly graduate from the academy to becoming one of the youngest general that Huaxia had ever seen. Sadly though his military career was cut short when he was deeply involved in the older generals politics. He died a tragic death when he was murdered by the men who he trusted so much and considered his brothers. His soul wandered through the river of time and space still seeking vengeance and was soon swallowed up by a swirling light. He soon found himself in the body of a monster or that's what others consider him to be. He had a hulking figure pack with muscles,towering nearly 7ft tall, a pair thick tusks jutting out from his mouth and lupine ears along with the great desire for battle welling up inside him. He begins his new journey as a green hulking monster or an orc as what his kind was called, a monster born for war and lived for war.

However, in a city built on ambition, every move has its consequences. As he begins to assert himself, Rylan must navigate a volatile underworld of power-hungry factions and dangerous rivals—knowing that one wrong move could put him in the crosshairs.

"No one likes us, it doesn't matter!" "It doesn't matter if everyone likes us!"

humanity is on the brink of extinction after a 27-year-long period of darkness known as the "Eternal Night." This worldwide eclipse has allowed vampires to rise to power, plunging the world into chaos as they hunt humans with near-impunity. The story follows Gabriel de León, a Silversaint—a half-human, half-vampire warrior dedicated to fighting the vampire scourge. Captured by his enemies, Gabriel is forced to recount his life story to a vampire historian named Jean-François, who serves the vampire aristocracy. In his captivity, Gabriel reveals details of his past—the brutal training he endured as a young Silversaint, the horrors he faced on the battlefield, and the loved ones he lost along the way. Through his storytelling, he exposes not only the horrors of the vampire empire but also the moral compromises and betrayals within his own order. As he speaks, Gabriel reflects on his obsession with the Holy Grail, a fabled artifact that may hold the key to ending the Eternal Night and wiping out the vampire rulers once and for all. However, as Gabriel dives deeper into his story, it becomes clear that his quest has left scars—both physical and emotional—that he may never fully heal from. The line between hero and monster blurs as Gabriel's past is unveiled, showing him as a deeply flawed yet determined figure willing to risk everything for a dying world. Throughout this reluctant confession, Gabriel wrestles with guilt, anger, and an unyielding sense of duty, ultimately leading to a narrative that is both epic and intensely personal, revealing the darkness that surrounds and dwells within him.

Chayil, suffocating from a life of luxury with no freedom, suddenly gets yanked into a chaotic mess. He’s dropped into a magical world where everything - power, rank, and worth—is tied to the color of the Status System. Thanks to a god’s botched summoning, Chayil is handed the worst I.D. possible: A Verdant. Verdants are cursed. They’re auctioned off, forced into brutal labor, starved, and treated like filth. Some are bought for cruel amusement—forced to fight for their lives, tortured in experiments, or abused by nobles who see them as less than human. But Chayil didn’t mope around. To him, it is a challenge. With his sharp mind and raw strength, he’s ready to tear down this world’s twisted rules, rise through the ranks, and turn the system upside down, all while leading the other Verdants to do the same. Worst I.D. in the world? Doesn’t matter. He’s going to make it work, and he’s going to make them regret ever underestimating them.

Humanities technology advanced exponentially throughout the years. The only thing that they hadn't focused on for a while was space. The endless abyss that they call space was still unknown to them. Once they colonized their solar system, they thought it wasn't enough. They sent a search party out of their solar system but soon lost contact. Not long after, Earth lost contact with all of the other planets. Then a huge earthquake shook the earth itself and then portals opened up around the world. Soon monsters came out ravaging and flattening cities. Only a brave group of humans entered the portals which they then found multiple discoveries on the other side. They found stones that gave them different abilities and monsters a different world with a boss that lets them exit the portal, which was soon called dungeons. Those 6 friends were then later on called the 6 Primordial Braves. With the news of this, countries all over the world sent in people to retrieve stones, and then they would crush them, granting them abilities. They would then go back in to retrieve more and hand them out to the public. 500 years passed... This isn't the story of a hero. It's the story of a weak girl who was ridiculed and bullied every day because of her low status. And due to her cowardly nature, she was unable to fight back, making more people pick on her. While she was laying in an alleyway, with bruises and cuts all over her body, she saw a green, semi-see-through panel that appeared in front of her. It was like a notification you would see in the VR games from 400 years back. The green panel had a black text that said... [Would you like to become an Ancient Being?] ------------------------------------------------------------------- !Spoiler Below! . . . At the beginning of the novel, there will be a lot of going back and forth between the MC's personality. Plus, most of the problems, in the beginning, will be centered around herself. Also, at the beginning of the novel, there is an act of short and sweet revenge that lingers just a bit longer through the story, but this novel is not revenge-based. The Yuri aspect won't be as heavily used compared to my first novel. The girlfriend is mainly used to help the MC get through the mental box and distorted feelings that the MC has to suffer through at the beginning of the novel. You might dislike the characters that I made Lucy's friends, but I promise you'll change your mind later on. I think... Okay, that should be it! Phew... that was tiring.

No, a True Hero is someone who knows they have an impure soul and tainted heart, yet they embrace it, instead of attempting to deny their very nature; however, not all True Heros are the same, some have different beliefs and/or ideals. Yet at the end of the day, no matter how terrible or bleak the situation looks, you can always count on a True Hero to act as a beacon of light that'll show you the correct path, but for you to take, you must embark on it yourself.
